Brighton must move quickly to sign Sunderland midfielder Paddy McNair.

The Daily Mail says Sunderland are continuing to negotiate with Brighton over the proposed sale of £7million-rated McNair.

Sunderland have rejected two proposals so far, one from the south coast club for an initial £3.5million with add ons.

However, other clubs are interested including Wolves, Fulham and Derby County.

For his part, McNair has stated he wants to return to the Premier League next season.
